Kai McClendon Makes His Return | Washington Huskies Football News

Kai McClendon, a Mississippi State transfer sidelined for a full year by injury, made his long-awaited return to the Washington football field this week — and immediately made an impact. On his first play, he forced the offense to throw the ball away; on his second, he stopped a run. But the real moment came on his third snap: he deflected a pass that was intercepted by a linebacker. Though still building game shape, McClendon’s energy and talent are already earning praise from teammates and coaches, who see him as a key contributor once fully healthy. With his freshman season cut short by injury, Washington gambled on his potential — and it’s paying off fast. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
